Cloud-GSQCT:a parallel approach to screen gene sequences for phylogenetics analysis

Screening data for phylogenetic analysis from large datasets is a known computational problem of data-intensive application. In this paper, we implement a parallel approach, Cloud-GSQCT (Cloud Gene Sequence Quality Control Tool), to screen gene sequence data for phylogenetic analysis, using the MapReduce paradigm to parallelize the solution and to manage its execution. The parallel approach using Hadoop are implemented and the evaluation of the approach is also presented. For download: http://www.darwintree.cn/tools.htm.
